It builds pride and gives them a fresh perspective on what money is actually worth.<\/p><p style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Encourage your teen to explore a few ways to bring in some extra cash: babysitting, tutoring younger kids, washing cars, walking dogs, selling unwanted items, or even watering a neighbour\u2019s plants while they\u2019re away. No idea is too small; it\u2019s the habit of earning independently that matters.<\/p><\/article><article class=\"has-padding-medium u-rounded--lg has-margin-bottom-small ukfin_sponsored_article_step\" style=\"background-color: #6a40ff; border: 3px solid #ff5a5a; color: #ffffff;\"><h3 style=\"color: #ffffff;\">2.

Not as a one-off exercise, but as a genuine, ongoing responsibility. Pick an area for them to take ownership of \u2013 whether that\u2019s a monthly clothing allowance or their own transport costs \u2013 and let them run it.<\/p><p style=\"color: #ffffff;\">You\u2019ll get real-time notifications of their spending in your GoHenry parent app so you can keep an eye on things. It\u2019s a great way to have oversight without the micromanagement. And if they make the odd mistake? That\u2019s part of it. Having full ownership of a budget, missteps included, is one of the most effective ways to build lasting money confidence.<\/p><\/article><article class=\"has-padding-medium u-rounded--lg has-margin-bottom-small ukfin_sponsored_article_step\" style=\"background-color: #6a40ff; border: 3px solid #ff5a5a; color: #ffffff;\"><h3 style=\"color: #ffffff;\">3.

Now it\u2019s about deepening that understanding, helping them see not just that saving is good, but why starting early is such an advantage.<\/p><p style=\"color: #ffffff;\">This is where compound interest comes in. With GoHenry\u2019s Plus plan, your child can earn 2.63% AER (interest is variable) on their savings. Encourage them to check how much interest they\u2019ve earned that month, then talk through what that looks like over time. Run a scenario together: if they saved \u00a320 a month from age 13 to 17, how much would they have once compound interest is factored in? Seeing those numbers laid out has a way of making longer-term goals \u2013 like driving lessons, a first car, or university expenses \u2013 feel genuinely within reach.<\/p><\/article><article class=\"has-padding-medium u-rounded--lg has-margin-bottom-small ukfin_sponsored_article_step\" style=\"background-color: #6a40ff; border: 3px solid #ff5a5a; color: #ffffff;\"><h3 style=\"color: #ffffff;\">4.

A few simple challenges throughout the month can go a long way.<\/p><p style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Start with price comparison. If they\u2019ve got their eye on a new pair of trainers, encourage them to shop around before buying. Then introduce the wants vs needs conversation in a way that feels relevant to them: yes, they need the bus fare, but can they also stretch to the McDonald\u2019s they want this week? Finally, talk through impulse buying, particularly online, where it\u2019s all too easy to get swept up in the latest trend.<\/p><\/article><article class=\"has-padding-medium u-rounded--lg has-margin-bottom-small ukfin_sponsored_article_step\" style=\"background-color: #6a40ff; border: 3px solid #ff5a5a; color: #ffffff;\"><h3 style=\"color: #ffffff;\">5.

Ask them if there\u2019s something they\u2019re genuinely excited about, like festival tickets or a new piece of tech, and make that the goal.<\/p><p style=\"color: #ffffff;\">A 3 to 6 month horizon is short enough to feel motivating, but long enough to require real commitment. Encourage them to use their GoHenry app, to set a target date and automate their savings to keep things on track. And when they get there? They can enjoy the feeling of having saved for something they wanted all by themselves.<\/p><\/article><\/div><div class=\"u-bg--background-secondary\"><div class=\"ukfin_sponsored_article_body has-padding-top-large sponsorpanel\"><article class=\"ukfin_sponsor luna-card luna-card--shadow no-margin-bottom\"><div class=\"luna-card__block\"><div class=\"u-grid u-grid--alignMiddle\"><div class=\"u-grid__col u-1\/4@s u-grid__col--orderLast@s text-center no-padding-bottom\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/gohenry_232_140.png\" alt=\"GoHenry logo\" style=\"width: 180px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/gohenry_232_140.png?fit=180 180w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/gohenry_232_140.png?fit=360 360w, https:\/\/www.finder.com\/finder-us\/wp-uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/gohenry_232_140.png?fit=540 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div><div class=\"u-grid__col u-3\/4@s no-padding-bottom\"><div class=\"has-padding-top-small has-padding-bottom-small\"><p><strong class=\"text-xx-large u-italic\">GoHenry: where kids go to learn money<\/strong><\/p><p>Kids learn to earn, save, spend and invest with pocket money, custom savings goals, gifted money from family and friends, gamified lessons and more.
